Selective logging applied in tropical forests is based on one universal criterion: a minimum diameter cutting limit for all commercial timber species. Minimum diameter cutting limits in mixed dipterocarp forests of the Malesia region lead to high felling intensities (10–20+ trees per hectare). Su...
This bibliography for the Republic of Congo is a sequel to the one on Gabon. It comprises 312 annotated references on thematic areas: fauna, flora, vegetation, ecology, conservation, silviculture, forest inventory, forest management, forest policy and economy, non-timber forest products, etc.; an...
In the quest for global standards, “Criteria and Indicators” (C&I) are among the foremost mechanisms for defining and promoting sustainable tropical forest management. This paper examines some challenges posed by this approach, focusing on examples that reflect the ecological aspects of tropical ...

Ecological criteria and indicators for tropical forest landscapes: challenges in the search for progress
A literature survey was conducted to assess animal responses to logging and evaluate the usefulness of bioindicators as tools to assess biodiversity conservation in logged tropical forests. The survey indicated that studies on the impact of logging on arthropods and herpetofauna are under-represe...

Animal indicators: a tool to assess biotic integrity after logging tropical forests?
This paper first provides a brief overview of what are and what represent forest ecosystem services. Then it considers the issues of price and valuation, and shows that valuation itself is not a solution but merely a tool. Considering then the reasons of the overall degradation of forest ecosyste...
